I second that. James Bond is always confident, goes after what he wants despite any fear or other people telling him what to do. If anyone insults him, he remains calm/composed and his comebacks are clever, and witty. If a woman tries to turn him down, he just smirks and tells himself it's only a matter of time. He knows how to pick up and date women - even if they have a low interest level, eventually their interest level will become a 10/10. Overall, he knows what he is doing.

[@1AstralKing]

Not just him… the MI6 messenger [imagine, no pagers or cells; you actually had to send someone there to let them know they were wanted] who is not an agent, not nobility and not high society, yet he just strolls on in like he belongs there even though he’s not a member. He is part of his own elite that protects society whether “high” or not, and he shows that he knows it with that quiet confidence. The door-man too… not a prick or a Karen, he just politely asks if the guy is a member and politely lets him go about his business even though he’s not - because all are being civil and respectful. Class and courtesy at every level of society.

The point is, an alpha male is always on a mission and women see that. When Bond got up from the table and walked away, she noticed it and knew he had other higher priorities in his life besides the game and chatting with her. Do the same. Work on improving yourself and enriching your life and get on a higher mission/purpose. Get in solid shape, get smart, get a better job/start a business, go on adventures, take care of your hygiene, dress well, and meet new people.

Sean Connery was not a huge star then before Dr No he was in smaller parts and character actor roles and was noticed by producer Cubby Broccoli when Connery was in appearing in Darby O’Grill and the little people in 59 and Broccoli stated Connery would make a good Bond when the hunt was on for actors to play James Bond in 61. Broccoli was impressed by Connery after he saw the Darby film and had seen a fight scene with Connery and thought he would make a good James Bond but still had 6 other finalists screen test for the role before Connery got it beating out an 28 year unknown model Peter Anthony as Broccoli thought Anthony lacked the acting technique to land the part. It’s ironic as years later as unknown car salesman and model from Australia George Lazenby landed the role taking over from Sean Connery when only acting experiences he had were in tv commercials but lied to producers about his acting experience and landed the role based on his screen test and doing a fight scene breaking the nose of stuntman and actor he was doing screen test with.

For those wondering what they're playing, it's a version of Baccarat called 'Chemin De Fer' (the French word for "railway" as it is a quicker style of Baccarat). This version of Baccarat was the "in-vogue" version preferred by British royalty and high society in the early/mid 20th century, and therefore Ian Flemming and James Bond. The game is a distant cousin to blackjack, except in Chermin De Fer the "best" total to get is a 9, not 21. All face cards (jack, queen, king, and 10s) have a value of zero, and aces are worth 1. 9 is the highest hand, and if your total goes beyond 9, (ie, you have a 5 and a 7) your score is the last digit of your hand. So 5+7 = 12, therefore, you go back to only having a score of 2. After each player is dealt their 2 cards, each inspects their hand. If either player has an 8 (2nd highest score) or a 9 (highest score) each must announce their hand and the game is over, with the highest winning. You hear the table manager (the croupier) calling "huit a la banque" (8 to the Bank) and "neuf a la banque" (9 to the Bank) when Bond turns over these hands. If neither player has an 8 or a 9, each may "hit" for a third card. Taking the previous example of having a 5+7 (2), you would certainly hit. If you receive a 7 (5+7+7) you now have 9 (19) and a very strong hand. James Bond is playing the role of the "banker" (banque) and his stake and hand is competing against everyone else at the table, with Ms Trench playing that of the "common hand" (punto), that is, she is playing on behalf of everyone else at the table. Normally, Chermin De Fer has multiple players at the table pooling their funds collectively to compete against the bank's stake. In this scene, however, Ms Trench continues to match the bank's full stake herself and competes individually against it. When Ms Trench loses to Bond she calls "Suivre" which is French for "to follow". This allows her to keep leading the table as the "punto" against the Bank by increasing her stake for the next hand. Without calling Suivre the role Ms Trench is playing would pass to her left, or to whomever can stake the next highest amount against the Bank. You in fact hear the player to her left (our right) @0:42 call to take over as "punto" when Ms Trench loses, only for her to call Suivre and maintain the seat (and non-verbally apologise to the gentleman for calling Suivre over the top of him) If Ms Trench wins, the bank's wager is apportioned to the rest of the table (and the house). Should the bank be unable to continue staking, the shoe moves to the next player willing to play as the bank. For those further wondering, each pink betting tab is £100 which would be equivalent to £2,000 in 2021 (aprox. $2750 USD). Each time they play they're staking £200 which is about $5,000 USD each hand. So yes, they're rolling deep! I hope that explains the game for those interested.

[@samweirich5973]

Thanks for the explanation. I'm too poor to play Chemin De Fer, so I play at the cheapo $10 table where the dealer draws all the cards and the players just bet Player or Banker. Maybe in some alternate universe I could be born a high-roller like Bond. A man can always dream.

Even 60 years later, this single scene is a master class on how to be a suave, sophisticated man.

[@richardmcgowan1651]

The acting in the scene is so natural. Both talking like normal people and having fun teasing each other. You can also see they are both equal in the game being played between them. Trying to get the upper hand. Amazing writing and amazing acting.

[@diannaa6189]

I don't care with anyone agrees with me or not.....but that is James Bond... the best

He was certainly the best, but I have enjoyed seeing Craig in the role as well. Craig has the advantage of being a stone cold killer.
